Well, it could (and should!) have been quicker, but it collapsed with an
update of the test box I devote to Xen+libvirt hack/testing...

I've added "keep that box in a more good shape" to my menta

Me too, and actually, looking at things from this perspective, I think
the push gate did a good job _as_it_is_ in highlighting how much careful
we should be with the libxl interface, and that things either get fixed
quickly or changes be reverted.

Just thinking out loud here but, if we did not get the push failure,
when would have we discovered this?

Regards,
Dario
